Urgent appeal: Help the family of Aya and Imad

Donation protected
I am Aya, married to Imad, and we have a two-year-old daughter named Lara. Our life was peaceful and stable. We had a beautiful home that represented security and warmth for us. We lived unforgettable moments with our family in that house. My daughter, Lara, lived in safety, peace, and quiet in her room, her toys, and her home, and she was attached to them
Until the war came on Gaza, her room and her warm bed were destroyed, the house was completely destroyed, and all her belongings were burned. They took us out of our homes by force after calling for us to evacuate immediately from the north of the Strip. We left the house without taking anything with us. We left behind our memories, our money, and our work, as my husband ran his business on The Internet has destroyed all the devices. They also destroyed my father-in-law's factory. We are now without a source of income


The war on Gaza has turned our lives upside down. Our home with all its beautiful memories was completely destroyed in a moment we did not expect. I found myself and my family forced to leave the house without taking anything. I couldn't take my clothes, my personal belongings, or even the memories I had collected over the years. I left everything behind to try to escape an unbearable situation.

Life wasn't easy. My husband, Imad, lost his job in the fruit and vegetable company that he worked for with his father, and it was completely destroyed, which was our main source of income. In addition, he had a side job as a Python language trainer, where he was offering courses in a place devastated by the wars that ravaged our city. He took pride in teaching others

Besides his coaching work, he was also a designer, producer and digital content creator. Over years of hard work, he built his personal accounts and YouTube channels. These channels were not just for entertainment, but served as my husband's personal school and a platform to express his creativity and passion.

Not only that, there was no healthy food or clean water to drink. I used to get sick and could not find treatment. Also, my daughter Lara got lung infections due to inhaling smoke from burning wood all day due to the lack of cooking gas, so she used to get sick and suffer from coughing all the time. There is medicine. Pollution is everywhere. The place is full of waste, insects are widespread, and sewage is widespread. We live an inhumane life. There is no clean water for my little girl. There is no water for bathing, and this is one of the causes of skin rashes, and also because of the lack of pampers, I had to My husband and I made diapers from nylon, as my daughter Lara was severely injured
No treatment was available


Our savings have been depleted during 8 months of displacement due to the skyrocketing cost of living. Life was very difficult during this period as we suffered a lot from the ravages of war. Now, my family and I find ourselves homeless, without even the basic necessities of daily life.

We have nothing now: no money, no home, and no source of income. We feel trapped in a whirlwind of loss and despair.

We are now asking for your help and support in these difficult times. Your donations will help us obtain basic necessities such as clothing, food and temporary shelter. Every contribution, no matter how small, will make a big difference in our lives and restore some hope and security.
We are grateful to everyone who can help, whether through financial donations, or even sharing our story with more people. We trust that there are compassionate hearts that will open the doors of hope for us again.
Thank you for your support and generosity. We look forward to better days thanks to your generous contributions.
